WHITE HOUSE MEMO

In ObamaÂ’s Book List, Glimpses of His Journey


President Obama, with his daughter Malia, buying books last weekend at the Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington.

By PETER BAKER

WASHINGTON — President Obama has never visited the rugged mountains of Chechnya, but if he digs into one of the novels he bought last weekend, “A Constellation of Vital Phenomena,” he will be transported to a land of unremitting violence and tragedy, where the innocent are caught up in war as often as the guilty.

Perhaps Mr. Obama is seeking a deeper understanding of the roots of the ethnic bloodletting after Chechnya vaulted back to the front pages this year with the Boston Marathon bombings. Or perhaps he is thinking about his troubled relationship with Russia.

Either way, the novel would give the president a more visceral feel for one of the worldÂ’s most brutal conflicts than the graphic intelligence papers that cross his desk.

“I imagine someone in his position gets a lot of facts and figures,” Anthony Marra, the author of the book, mused the other day. “But the novel is really about the experience, about the psyche and the soul.”

A reading list offers a rare window into the presidential mind, a peek at what a commander in chief may be thinking about beyond theprosaic and repetitive briefings that dominate his days.

Yes who cares about those repetitive boring briefings. I mean, there's nothing interesting going on, certainly, apart from the intense drama of his signature policy initiative going up in flames.

The writer claims the reading list is a "rare glimpse" into the president's mind. Just as Howard Fineman said last night that Obama's talking about his own Journey was a "rare" glimpse into a president's mind.

Obama seems to talk about this a lot, and the media seems to write about it with great intensity and interest.

I'm not sure if we can call a several-times-per-week occurrence rare.

In fact, I'm pretty sure it's the concern for Obama's actual record that's rare. The intense interest in Obama the Personality is the common thing.

The right has repeatedly belittled Obama as a "Celebrity." And indeed that is what he is. His fans are primarily interested in Barack the Man, Barack the Personality.

And not so much as Barack Obama, the executor of federal law.


...

Many of the nearly two dozen volumes Mr. Obama picked up at Washington’s Politics and Prose bookstore will be gifts, and certainly children’s tales like “Harold and the Purple Crayon” offer few lessons for dealing with Tea Party congressmen.

But even if they are given away, some of the books reflect what Mr. Obama has already read or would like to read. They are volumes about identity and reinvention, about what it means to be American, and about family, love, betrayal and redemption.

Yup-- movie themes. Book themes. Story themes.

Unlike many of his predecessors, who devoured American history and biographies, Mr. ObamaÂ’s tastes lean toward the literary, in keeping with a man whose first memoir deeply explored issues of race and self.

The media's almost as interested in this Funny Little Muddle called Barack Obama as Barack Obama himself.

And here's the straight-up admission of a big Obama fan that she identifies with Obama, as fans identify with a movie's main character.


...

“I think President Obama has really searched his soul in the way that writers do,” Ms. Strayed said. “I certainly, like many people, identify with Obama’s journey."

The New York Times, like Chris Matthews, is not interested in policy. It is solely interested in the travails and triumphs of their Hero, Barack Obama.

And didn't you just love this bit: "But even if they are given away, some of the books reflect what Mr. Obama has already read or would like to read." And we know that how? I mean, this guy doesn't do anything he doesn't have to do... and there's plenty he ought to be doing that he doesn't. (Like having regular meetings with the HHS Secretary, for instance.)

37 certainly children’s tales like “Harold and the Purple Crayon” offer few lessons for dealing with Tea Party congressmen. Undoubtedly. However the Congressmen could probably think a bit about the philosophy behind Harold and the Purple Crayon. Eg: Is the world that Harold draws reality. Harold certainly seems to interact with it. When he draws a bed, he sleeps in it. What about Obama. He creates a world of lies and the media do its best to argue that the lies are the real world. This environment protects Obama from the real world to an astonishing degree. Maybe the lesson Congress can take from this is to refuse to live in the Purple Crayon world and to stand outside it. To poke great holes in that "reality" and to point to the actual reality and the disaster existing there.

Under pressure to come up with one on topic  before I leave for the weekend.  Not my best but .

 

Obama and his secret service detail  walk into a bar.   One of the Secret Service Agents walks up to the the bar to order .

 

SS agent says "  I would like a beer for  the  bratty teenager "

 

The bartender says  " sorry we don't serve alcohol to people under the age of 21"

 

The SS agent apologizes  and  says  " Sorry,  the  beer is for the President.  Bratty Teenager is his code name  among the agents  . "

 

Okay to make up for that here is a  very  short  non-original.

91 I love how the writer projects why Obama is reading something and he's so reflective and self critical and empathetic. Obama is what he said in 2008-the blank screen people project their own wishes and desires on. Nauseating. Good post, Ace.

92 Therein lies the danger to democracy. The hero is a savior. People who are unhappy and have no religion--i.e., the Left--attach themselves to charismatic figures like Obama. They are "sort of like God," as one prominent journalist put it. They "come amongst us" like a theophany. What the savior actually does almost doesn't matter. All that matters is that he is the savior, that they instinctively trust him, even though he may not be trustworthy. As we saw with Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Hitler and others, this longing can lead to strange ends in times of economic and social upheaval. And those times may be coming, for instance when the Fed stops propping up the stock market, or Europe goes into default mode. The imperial presidency has just begun.

99 The other day I was taking a shit and I mused upon the type of sensation Barack Obama prefers when he wipes his ass.  Does he prefer a smooth softness in his toilet paper that leaves a haunting feeling that there is a possibility that the nether regions have a thin veneer of defecate remaining; or does Obama rather a rougher toilet paper that leaves not a hint of doubt that its scratchiness has left nothing but the most delicate pungent fragrance that only journalists who work in the premier newspaper of record can detect.

110 yes, those who suffer from the liberal pathology are insane and have replaced reality with some sort of hero-myth in which they fight against some stereotype they saw in a movie a few years back. But the idea that the alternate reality cos-play world view of a fictional hero is what drives most American's political views is bad. Of course, it's not most americans, it's just those that have wheedled their way into PR and MSM and the educational complex to pave the way for Obama the Knight Errant. What insanity. We supported Booooosh the WWWW because we wanted to kill fucking terrorists and to keep the government at least smaller than Gore and Kerry would've made it.

That raises an interesting point: I have a theory that Obama is a natural Submissive. Look at him during the first Romney debate. Didn't he seem natural, settling into the role of submitting to Romney? I suspect he submits to Valerie Jarrett behind the scenes, submits to his scary wife, and only musters a facade of dominance when he goes out to give a speech from the Teleprompter, his core skill, or when he really forces himself. But deep in his heart, he's all about a cringing submission.

Blacks (which is why Crissie does his dog whistle act. Also see condescending liberals)

Hispanics (you too can aspire to be the top victim one day)

Condescending Liberals (oh look honey the Blacks have finally got their own President. Isn't that cute?)

and of course Europe and the 3rd world (gotta make 'em feel they're being out pandered or what to strive for).

Meanwhile back in the RL, China and Russia are planning our demise.

181 Splunge, you know, you're exactly right. I was at a clients house last week, and he came out with some bs remark about Sarah Palin (which was not what we were talking about) , and I cast my job to the winds (metaphorically) and said "You know, what I find interesting about Sarah Palin is that both established parties seem to hate her equally". Got dead silence followed by a quick change of subject. Still working, so far. That's about as far as I go with proselytizing these days, introduce an "inconvenient truth" once in a while and hope to kickstart someone's thinking mechanism once in a while.

Yeah, me too. That's about all you can do with progs. You can't debate them -- their brains cut out. You can't introduce complicated concepts -- they'll isolate some phrase and take offense, and ignore the whole. All you can do to be effective is to present some fact, in its simplest possible expression, that you know they are not prepared to hear. Probably doesn't change any minds, but that long pause afterwards is satisfying, isn't it?

I don't like the actors, I don't like the producers or directors and I definitely don't like the writers.

Yet somehow I'm supposed to play the role assigned regardless?

It's time for an actor's strike.

If just 50% of conservatives were to walk out of their jobs, this country would grind to a halt.

Whatever remained in operation would do so poorly and put people at risk. Much of the economy would nosedive and those with their hands out would find few to fill them.

How long does it take to realize the hate there is for those who work and build?

How many more vile names and accusations have to hurled at those we respect to understand those making them are our enemies and not countrymen?

How much longer can we continue to ignore the facts before our very eyes?

I'm done. Only my Christian upbringing and sense of justice and respect for all life prevents me from starting to take physical action against those who don't have any of my reluctance towards doing so to me.

The country is poised on a knife edge.

217 According to Amazon, "A Constellation of Vital Phenomena" is "A story of the transcendent power of love in wartime, A Constellation of Vital Phenomena is a work of sweeping breadth, profound compassion, and lasting significance." The blurb for "The Lowland:" "From the Pulitzer Prize-winning, best-selling author of The Namesake comes an extraordinary new novel, set in both India and America, that expands the scope and range of one of our most dazzling storytellers: a tale of two brothers bound by tragedy, a fiercely brilliant woman haunted by her past, a country torn by revolution, and a love that lasts long past death."

Yeah, but we're not going to do it. We work. We do our jobs. We support our families. It's a big part of what we do.

Since we seem to somehow be living in Ayn Rand's world, I will mention her take: that the "strike by the men of the mind" is not appropriate while we can still speak. If we are silenced by law, then maybe a strike would be the only expression. But it won't come to that. I think.

... 6 months ago the projection on closing was 15%+; 1 year ago <5%... in 18 months we have gone from 'no new facility' to 'no repairs' to 'we may have to close.'

Admittedly this is 'only' a 25 bed critical access hospital that 'only' serves an 8,000 draw area but we are 90 minutes away from a trauma center, a cath lab, an ICU, and a pediatric unit... stupid farmers and ranchers and factory shits are ALL redneck hicks and who CARES if they all die, they contribute NOTHING to our country!

337 Excellent lack of insight by the last writer quoted.  Big ups for "Obama's Journey", which she identifies with, as though he's a writer, not the CinC of the most powerful and consequential military and economically important nation since Rome. I may be silly or missing something, but I would think that a man that would stand for election twice in order to lead the free world would have completed his own journey sometime prior to his second election.  The job description includes "don't allow all of mankind to be consumed by thermonuclear fire".  A deep-seated interest in self-discovery is not really what a nation needs in a leader, especially one that is de facto responsible for maintaining any semblance of global order. Considering how Vlad Putin has responded thus far, along with the Iranians, Netanyahu, the Chinese, the NorKs, et. al., nobody believes the man has a backbone.  By God, he'll just light up his own countrymen who disagree though.  ATF, IRS, EPA, and the list goes on.  He has no foreign enemies - just friends who haven't come under his spell yet; but has domestic enemies aplenty, and he'll do for them as soon as nobody is looking too close.

339 And every part of this why a president like Dwight Eisenhower needs to be elected - just to calm everything down and send most of the press off into the world they want to actually cover...

Tiger Beat and Seventeen.


No really, they want to do that.  They want celebrities to cover, but they want to be considered serious also.  They want that same thrill they got in junior high from what ever middle school students do in that environment.

So I propose that a theme park be created, call it "I Got to Date a Cheerleader/Varsity Football Player World".  Build the sort of impressive building facades and quaint bars and power-restaurants that could be found in the environs of Washington, have themes such as "A senator listens closely to me" and "I was at the President's aloe awareness ball", and herd the little beggars in.  There will be daily parades of black limos with sirens (you may get to ride in one).  Hire actors and actresses to play like they are power-brokers and entice the inhabitants that they may actually get something new but also sex (BIRM).

Expensive?  Heck yes, it should be about as expensive to run as two carrier battle-groups.  But a bargain at those rates.

Second, if he was really really interested in finding out about Chechnya, there are a number of high priced employees that report to that lantern jawed Secretary of State who should be able to tell Fundraiser McThreePutt every fucking thing there is to know about Chechnya.  But that would be like real work.

But not interested enough to ferret out and publish the facts concerning his life. Such as, for example, just where he happened to be the night our ambassador in Bengazi was murdered.

343 Can I ask what fucking 'Journey' has this douche had to go on? What critical moment relies on this empty suit? A journey entails that something or somebody simply MUST be changed, or fixed from being so desperately wronged. What harrowing deed was it that just HAD to be accomplished? I am sick to fucking death of our wet pantied media following this colossal perpetual failure around and treating him as if he himself is the last bastion of any semblance of maturity and THE soul holder of decency. When the hell is our media going to be objective again? When a certain GOP president was in office, everything form cloudy skies to breaking up with you girlfriend fell solely on his head. The interviews of folks at gas stations during the time they pretended to give a fuck about the wars simply for political clout. Here we have a man that is literally destroying everything he gets involved and, and our media could not be bothered to vet him during a presidential election PURELY for the fact that they hated a certain political party. It must be nice to claim you have gone on a journey and have NOTHING to show for it.
